He MIGHT be coming home from the hospital today! He has been there for a week, exactly. *sigh*... I really want him home. He was doing so very poorly at first, as you know; however, he began to eat/drink more and feel stronger. It seemed to take an eternity.
Yesterday was his birthday. We went to visit, of course, with a balloon, card, and a doughnut. There is a joke between us/him and doughnuts. He almost INHALED it! I was tickled pink. :)
He's anxious, though, b/c he knows that he has to get back into treatment. I'm not quite sure of what the plan is. He wasn't completed with radiation, had 9 more sessions to go. Does anyone know if that's what would be done, just the 9 sessions, after a week's break? The chemo I'm not sure about, either. Supposedly that would have been completed last Tuesday, and it was stopped on Monday when he was admitted. He'll be having surgery soon and then I do know that he will have some more chemo after that. I am aware that radiation cannot be given in the same place ever again after a round of it has been completed.
I'll update when I can. Thanks for all the support around here. I totally appreciate you all.
